You mean columns A, B, C&D, right?

Put this in the cell that should return the name (A2???):
=index(sheet2!a:a,match(b2,sheet2!b:b,0))

You may want to read Debra Dalgleish's notes:

and

I need to consolidate two different worksheets that contain text. One
worksheet contains the following:

Row A -
Row B - alphanumeric identifier
Row C&D - numbers

The second worksheet contains the following:

Row A - name
Row B - alphanumeric identifier

I need to pull the name from the second worksheet that matches the
alphanumeric identifier in the first worksheet. Any ideas?

Thanks,
